“The wood is our muse and our palette; its shapes and colors speak to those who listen.”

“In Japanese, kodama, the ‘spirit of a tree,’ refers to a feeling of special kinship with the heart of a tree. It is our deepest respect for the tree…that we may offer the tree a second life.”

“Each tree, each part of the tree, has its own particular destiny…We roam the world to find our relationships with these trees.”

“To care for the woods is to witness all: nature unfolds, the seasons pass. The footprints of nature’s great variety appear on the new-fallen snow.”
